Following the lackluster performance seen in the previous session, treasuries moved sharply lower during trading on Friday.
Bond prices regained ground after an early sell-off but moved back to the downside as the day progressed. As a result, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, surged 11.6 basis points to 4.245 percent.
With the sharp increase, the ten-year yield added to the slight uptick seen on Thursday, climbing further off the three-month closing low set on Wednesday.
